"Mom, what's going on?" asked Emily, who had rushed in after Emma had called her. Unpleasant news, to be sure. However, Emma did not say it clearly. She only asked Emily to come over because she had something to say.

"Your father ... he decided to donate his marrow to Lyla. You know how Charles is. He has heart disease; what if—"

Emily turned frantic instantly. She grabbed her cell phone and called Jeffry to help her look for Charles, who might still be around the hospital. Emily hoped that Jeffry would prevent whatever the middle-aged man was going to do.

However, Jeffry's answer made Emily even more panicked.

"I only met him once, when he had just come out of doctor John Armando's office. But I don't know where he went after that. And I don't care."

Emily then hurried away without saying goodbye because she didn't have time for that. The most important thing was that she needed to find Charles before he did something reckless.

He could be desperate to do a test to find out whether h

    Emily eventually decided not to visit Lyla too intensely, especially when it came to Jeffry. She felt it was enough to maintain the intensity of their meetings because Emily didn't want to feel hurt for the umpteenth time.However, she regretted her decision when she heard Lyla was having a bad day.The little girl's condition worsened, and the doctor couldn't be sure if Lyla would get better or if the whole family would have to let her go.Jeffry certainly didn't want that to happen. He defended his decision that Lyla should continue to receive treatment until a miracle came. Jeffry is still hoping for that.And when Emily arrived and hurried to leave, Jeffry stopped her. Just then, Charles watches from a distance, not wanting to interrupt what the man who was once his son-in-law is trying to do."Emilia, please. I don't have anyone else: just Lyla and you. You can ask anyone; I've never been this way with any woman after Emilia—I mean, Lyla's mom. You're the only one who makes me cr

    It has been two days since Lyla regained consciousness, and she is in perfect condition. She has also been moved to a treatment room and will be evaluated in the next three days. If she gets better, Lyla will be allowed outpatient treatment subject to the doctor's advice and notes.And today, Emily decided to accompany Lyla for the whole day, especially since it was the weekend, so Emily could freely spend her time with the little girl.Even when Lyla fell asleep, she still held Emily's fingers, which made the woman feel touched.Emily was probably jealous of Emilia, even though she was gone. However, Lyla made Emily feel as if she was the little girl's mother. And Lyla's recovery made Emily's mind a little calmer. The proof is that she no longer silences Jeffry like a few days ago—because of her jealousy of Emilia.The two are now seen sitting across from each other, enjoying their lunch in the cafeteria while talking about things that won't make Emily wrong.Jeffry tries to explain

    Shila had explained everything to Emily—everything she should have known from her best friend about why she followed Jeffry's orders to persuade Emily to marry him.Shila only wanted happiness for Emily and the same thing she was working towards.Similarly, for Jeffry, Emily, and Lyla, happiness matters to him."Aunt Emily, does this mean I can go home?" asked Lyla as she watched Emily pack up her belongings. "I don't want to stay here too long. I'm homesick, Aunt Emily."Emily turned around and caressed the little girl's cheek lovingly."Of course, you're going home, Lyla. You are well and will always be well. However, the doctor has stipulated that you must continue to take your vitamins and medicine regularly and obey papa's instructions, okay?"Lyla nodded and then turned her head towards the door where Jeffry stood and watched the interaction between Emily and Lyla from earlier.He then walked over to Emily, who had finished her busy work earlier, wrapped his arm around her waist

    A month later"Emily, leave your work! You have to go home now because in two days your wedding will take place. What are you thinking about? Why are you still working?" nagged Shila, annoyed at her best friend for not remembering her condition, especially her growing belly.Emily's wedding was two days away, but she was still busy taking care of all the remaining work. Moreover, in two months, Emily would give birth. It was Emily's nonchalant attitude that annoyed Shila."Take it easy, Shila; Jeffry has organized everything. I need to relax, sleep, and get dressed by the best make-up artist who will make me shine at the wedding even though I'm pregnant."Emily's relaxed demeanor and calm-sounding words should have put Shila at ease. Instead, her best friend was on edge."I'm anxious about you, Em. You know, I didn't want to tell you, but I saw someone hanging around our office. I'm afraid—""Shila, you're overthinking things. It's probably just a passerby. Nothing will happen, Shila.

    Emily had finished moving her belongings from her old house to Jeffry's residence. There are some items she left behind, such as furniture and others, because they will be needed by the tenants later.Since Shila changed her mind and found it hard to leave her apartment, Emily decided to keep it and promised to help Emily to promote it until she found a tenant. That alone was very helpful for Emily, who would start focusing on her labor preparations later.Emily started coming to the office less often and left it to Shila to take care of her job for the time being. Meanwhile, it was Jeffry who visited EMZ more often to check on the work of the employees there because he forbade Emily to be too tired in the seconds leading up to her labor—especially after he heard first-hand about Shila's concerns about the stranger who often seems to be watching their office."But I should be able to see the stranger, Shila. Did you forget that my office is right in front of EMZ?" said Jeffry, who was

    The baby, who was expected to arrive in less than two months, arrived early. Emily went through labor smoothly and safely. The baby boy is now in Emily's arms, and they named him Liam.Their happiness is more complete with Liam's presence. Especially Lyla, who was so excited to welcome the baby brother she had been waiting for. Even since Jeffry had not yet found a replacement for Emilia, Lyla had often expressed her desire to have a younger sibling."Can I hold him later?" asked the little girl when Emily and Jeffry contacted her via video call. Emily, who was holding Liam, smiled and answered the innocent question."It's okay, baby. But it has to be with the help of an adult, okay?"Lyla flashed a smile that revealed her clean teeth, then handed the cell phone to Charles, who looked touched, staring at the screen where Jeffry clearly showed Liam's face."Thank you, dear. You've made this family so complete," Charles said, almost in tears. However, he quickly wiped them away and show

    Shila had been at Emily's house for thirty minutes, and they were silent without saying anything. Jeffry had deliberately left them alone so they could spend time together because both Emily and Shila must have missed each other in the past when they could freely talk without being disturbed by anyone.However, Emily was silent. She didn't say a word, and Shila realized the strangeness of her friend."Em, what's going on? You don't seem to be in the best of spirits when I can hear your cheerful voice on the phone. Did something happen between you and Jeffry?" Shila asked, half-whispering so Jeffry wouldn't hear what they were talking about.Emily shook her head, looking weak and uncharacteristic. She then sighed and couldn't bear to bury the problem that had managed to occupy her attention since earlier."Shila, how long have you known Jeffry?" Emily asked, making her best friend frown. "I mean, did you know about his family and character before I knew him?"Shila looked like she was

    Jeffry called the woman who called him and asked to meet at their usual place. In reality, Jeffry didn't recognize the number at all. He had never known any woman other than Emily and Shila, certainly not since Emilia passed away.Previously, Jeffry had never been interested in getting to know anyone, especially when he was still with Emilia. She was more than enough for him. And after Emilia passed away, only Emily managed to grab his attention.So Emily should no longer needs to doubt Jeffry's loyalty."Jeff, what are you doing? You don't have to do this—" prevented Emily, who could not continue her words because Jeffry had prevented her from speaking with hand gestures.Jeffry activated the loudspeaker so Emily could hear what he was talking about with the woman who contacted him at that time, assuring her that Emily's worries would not happen.Unfortunately, after several calls, the woman did not respond to any of his calls until he decided to give up."You see, she didn't have th

    Three months laterJason visited Emily and brought her a box of chocolates and a bouquet of her favorite flowers. Lili and Peonies that Jason still remembers today.Emily seemed happier than before, and of course, Jason's feelings also began to slowly calm down because he was freer to meet his son and spend time with Liam and Emily.She no longer rejects Jason's presence because she also needs him in Liam's care. She doesn't think of another love; her life is only for Liam now. She will do anything for her baby."Have you eaten yet? I brought your favorite food. Chinese food and spaghetti," Jason said with a bright smile.Seeing what Jason had brought and placed on the dining table, the two hazel eyes rounded."Seriously, Jase, this is a lot. Who's going to finish it?" asked Emily. "I'm on a diet."Jason chuckled at his ex-wife's words and got up and walked over to her, and grabbed both her hands."You still have to breastfeed Liam, and then your figure will return on its own.""What

    In a different place, Jason repeatedly clucked and swore because Alex didn't come. Where did he go to relieve himself for so many minutes? Jason suspected that instead of going to the bathroom to relieve himself, Alex was meditating.Jason looked at the black clock in his hand. The long hand of the clock had changed to four. That meant he had been in his apartment for over twenty minutes."Where is he?" muttered Jason.Jason checked his cell phone. It was dead, so he couldn't use it to contact Alex. After charging it in the car, it finally turned on.Jason hurriedly searched for Alex's contact name. As soon as he wanted to call, three messages appeared from the person he was waiting for.Jason opened them. There was one slightly long video there. A little suspicious, Jason finally played it. In the video, he only saw a white image. Jason snorted in annoyance."What is he doing exactly." Just about to press the button again, Jason heard a voice. The white video finally changed, showing

    Jason ignored Alex's words. At Alex's house, Jason had a heated argument with the man. Shila even had to break it up. Because of the woman's words, Jason left and returned to his apartment to get something. He was going to get ready to meet Jeffry.Who would have thought that Alex would follow him? Finally, the man stopped at the door of his apartment."Move!" Jason said for the umpteenth time but did not get a response from Alex. Alex shook heis head. "You want to get into more trouble? If there's anything wrong with Jeffry, he can deny all charges," Alex explained. The man's face looked solemn."Then, you want me to stand by while he manages to make Emily the victim of his physical and sexual abuse? You want me to stay silent and let him laugh out loud in the hospital bed?" Jason's eyes were full of flames of anger.Alex looked down because he couldn't bear to stare at the man's eyeballs, which seemed ready to destroy his through invisible lasers. Alex clenched his fists. Honest

    Shila bit her lip. Her heart beat fast because the two people she was waiting for had disappeared. "What are they looking for? What took them so long?"Evil thoughts about her two friends immediately came to mind. Maybe they were caught and were being beaten up by the burly guards.Shila shook his head. Her heart almost jumped when she heard a noise next to her. She thought she was caught too, but it was far from it as she saw Jason and Alex.Shila then approached the two of them. "Are you guys okay? Did you make it?"Jason nodded. "Looks like luck is on our side. We managed to get the footage." Jason took the pen drive he had saved and showed it to Shila.The woman let out a long sigh. Showing that a heavy burden had just been lifted. Shila, who had been filled with fear, could now smile broadly. "Good. With that recording, Emily can get out of prison right away."Alex patted his shirt. "Before that, we have to see the video."Jason put his arm around Alex. He slipped the car keys in

    The three people who had just arrived were invited to sit by a man wearing a black suit. Jason thought it was not the same suit he had worn last night. The man, who was in his forties, looked fit. However, a few gray hairs appeared in his hair."So, what's your plan?" asked Jason as he looked through the documents before him."You haven't introduced them to me yet," said Mark, full of awareness, then took turns looking at Alex and Shila.Alex hurriedly held out his hand as a sign of introduction and seemed more polite. "Ah, sorry. I'm Alex, Emily's best friend."Mark welcomed the handshake kindly. Seeing what Alex did, Shila also did the same."Sorry, Jason was probably too excited to investigate this case. So, he didn't have time to introduce the two of us." Shila smiled sweetly. "Oh yeah, introduce me to Shila, Jason, and Emily's best friend, the current suspect."Mark also greeted Shila kindly. "Okay. I'm Mark Jefferson. Jason's father's best friend and the detective he appointed t

    Jason's idea then made the three people pay full attention to Tamara. From now on, Jason will take over the investigation of the woman. Meanwhile, Alex and Shila will look for something about Jeffry. Both are determined to make the man pay for what he did to their best friend."I'm going home.""What for?" Shila's brow furrowed. "What about Tamara? Don't you want to investigate on your own?"Jason nodded. "I am. But I'll ask my parents to contact Detective Jefferson. I didn't get a chance to meet them yesterday."Alex patted Jason's shoulder. "Alright. You can go home; we will look for information about Jeffry.""Good. Then I'll go now. You guys take good care of it."Alex and Shila answered together with confidence.Jason excused himself and headed straight to his parent's house. Yesterday, he didn't meet them because Jared's presence made him emotional. The man who had the misfortune of being Jared's brother chose to leave rather than cause a more complicated commotion.

    Emily was indeed much safer at Alex's mansion. After Shila and Jason took turns visiting her today, due to the weekend, the four got together and discussed Liam.Jason, suspicious of Tamara, let her stay in his apartment with Aaron. However, with Emily in Alex's residence, Jason has to go back and forth between his apartment and Alex's house to ensure Emily is okay.After all, he doesn't know Alex, and anyway, Alex is a man who used to be very close to Emily. Even now, Jason still couldn't accept that fact."I can't say anything other than one thing; I'm keeping an eye on someone who might shed some light on Liam," Jason said as he reviewed the files on the report Jason had filed with the police. "They're not moving at all. Look!"Alex looked thoughtful as she heard Jason's words."Don't you think someone influential plays a role in this case? Who knows if it's true? I can confirm that Jeffry is the one," Alex said."You mean Jeffry paid the police not to investigate this case? This i

    Tamara had just finished showering. She waited for Jason, who hadn't called her. "Where exactly is he? He hasn't even called me all day." Tamara scowled and headed for her dressing table. She looked at her reflection. Tamara saw a beautiful woman with a charming smile before her. Tamara liked the shape of her face. "No wonder so many men like me. Because I am beautiful," she praised herself. Reminiscing about the many men, Tamara could hardly believe that she had been in a relationship with Jason's brother-her current boyfriend. Tamara shook her head. The man was nothing more than an asshole. Tamara was too lazy to talk about it. Tamara stroked her belly. "It's probably a good thing me and Jared's baby wasn't born. Although I'm sad, there's no way I can hide that fact forever." Speaking of babies, Tamara remembered Aaron—Liam's new name, the son of Emily and Jason. Jeffry's words replayed in her head. She remembered clearly when Jeffry told her to get rid of Liam. The baby she now

    Jeffry didn't care that his cell phone kept ringing. He continued to curse Emily. That crazy woman had the nerve to stab him. Jeffry alerted his two guards to help. It didn't take long for the two guards to find Jeffry still on the bed with a knife stuck in his body.One of the guards called an ambulance. About fifteen minutes later, the ambulance finally arrived and took Jeffry to the hospital.The man swore that he would make Emily feel even more pain than before. Because of him, she had gotten into a place she hated.***Elsewhere, Emily managed to reach a pay phone. She called Alex and told him about her situation. Of course, Alex was surprised when he heard Emily's story. Even though it was late at night, Alex immediately drove to take Emily to his mansion. Alex also called Shila to come over, as well as Jason.Now, the three of them were at Alex's residence. Shila cried when she first saw Emily's condition. She was only wearing an oversized shirt and shorts. Emily wasn't even we
